Q

What is cytology and Cell theory

A

Cytology is a scientific study of cells

call theory examples, all organisms are composed of cells, cell is the simplest structural and functional unit of life.

Q

What is the Human Cell Size?

A

Most cells about 10 to 15 micrometers in diameter. Limit on cells : an overly large cell cannot support itself, may rupture.

Q

What are basic components of a cell?

A

Plasma (cell) membrane, surrounds cell, defines boundaries.
Cytoplasm are organelles, cytoskleton, inclusions, cystol(intracellular fluid ICF)
Etracellular fluid, fluid outside of cells, includes tissue.

Q

What is the plasma membrane and functions?

A

plasma membrane is the border of the cell.
Functions are defined cell boundaries, governs interactions with other cells, controls passage of materials in and out of cell.

Q

What are phospholipids ?

A

Only two fatty acids, they are main components of lipids. (Hydrophilic meaning loving lipids)(hydrophobic meaning fearing lipids)

Q

Functions of membrane proteins are what?

A

There are receptors, chemical messengers. Chanel, which is constantly open. Gated which opens for certain things. Identity, identifies and distinguishes. Adhesion, blinds one cell to another.

Q

What are Cillia

A

Antenna for monitoring nearby conditions. Helps with balance in inner ear; light detection in retina.

17
Q

Cillia continued, What is axoneme and dynein arms?

A

Axoneme is core of motile cilium, has 9 groups of two’s and 2 in the center. Dynein arms uses ATP which is how we store energy.

18
Q

What is Flagella ?

A

It is in the tail of a sperm, the point is to move things.

19
Q

What is pseudopods?

A

Continually changing extensions of cells that vary in shape and size.

20
Q

What is simple diffusion?

A

Net movement of particles from a place of high concentration to a place of low concentration. Molecules collide and bounce off one another. It does not require a membrane and Things always go high to low unless you put energy in it.

21
Q

What is Osmosis?

A

Semi-permeable membrane it was H2O but NOT sucrose, sucrose cannot move but H20 can

22
Q

What is Hypotonic and hypertonic ?

A

Hypotonic has a lower concentration and hypertonic have a higher concentration.

23
Q

What are Transport proteins ?

A

Transport proteins in membrane carry solutes into or out of cell or organelle.

24
Q

Membranes are what out of what?

A

Membrane is made out of lipids. Does not like water but made aqua porins to specify just for water.

25
Q

Define a Uniport?

A

Uniport- carries one type of solute(facilitated diffusion- making diffusion easier)

26
Q

Define a Symport?

A

Symport- carries two or more solutes simultaneously in same direction. (secondary active transport- active but not use ATP directly)

27
Q

Define an Antiport?

A

Carries two or more solutes in opposite directions.(Primary active transport- using ATP directly)

28
Q

What exactly is the sodium potassium pump?

A

Pumps Na+-K pump, exchanges that for ATP.

29
Q

Every cell in your body is ?

A

Every cell in your body is a battery.

30
Q

Wha is a Na+- k+ pump functions?

A

Maintains steep NA+ concentration gradient allowing for a secondary active transport.

31
Q

What purpose does the secondary active transport have?

A

Carrier moves solute through membrane but only uses ATP indirectly. Example being Sodium-glucose transport, sodium goes down for glucose to go up.
